Holland.
I find it very difficult to say what I have to—I realise now that the whole business has been preposterously silly—I can manage far better if you don’t interrupt.
Jack Straw.
Please let him go on, Mrs. Jennings.
Mrs. Parker-Jennings.
Of, of course, if your Royal ’Ighness wishes it I ’ave no more to say.
Holland.
It struck me that it would be amusing to pass off a nobody as a person of great consequence. I had just recognised one of the waiters as an old friend of mine. I introduced him to you as the Archduke Sebastian of Pomerania.
Mrs. Parker-Jennings.
